Preview: Pachuca v América – Time to take off at the Hidalgo 🦅 | OneFootball

Tonight, the Eagles will be visiting Pachuca in the third round of the Clausura 2026.

The team led by André Jardine has had a rather negative start to the tournament, with one draw and one loss, but the great concern is that they are the only team in the tournament that has yet to score a goal; in fact, something similar hasn't happened in over 25 years.

And now, just against one of the historically challenging rivals, they will seek to take flight and achieve their first victory of the tournament.

The current opponent, Pachuca, started the Clausura 2026 on the wrong foot by losing to Chivas, giving a rather negative performance, but managed to bounce back in round 2 by defeating their "younger brother" León with a score of 2-1.

The players ruled out for this match.

The Eagles will have two absences for this match against Pachuca: Alejandro Zendejas and Henry Martín. Both are expected to be ready for the next round against Necaxa.

Erick Sánchez will return to the squad and is expected to reappear on the bench after missing the first two rounds of the tournament.

It should be noted that the disciplinary committee decided to withdraw the red card from Ramón Juárez, so he will be available if André Jardine requires him.

The probable lineup for this match.

In goal will be Luis Ángel Malagón.

The central defense will be formed by Sebastián Cáceres and Israel Reyes, with Cristian Borja on the left side and Kevin Álvarez on the right.

In midfield, Rodrigo Dourado alongside Álvaro Fidalgo. On the wings, we will see Isaías Violante on the right and Allan Saint-Maximin on the left.

As center forwards, there will be Patricio Salas alongside ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga.

The uniform that Club América will wear.

What time and where to watch the match?

The match will kick off at 07:00 PM (Central Mexico Time) and will be broadcast on Fox One in Mexico. In the United States, it will be on TUDN USA.
